al_run_detached_thread(3alleg5)

✨ NAME ✨

al_run_detached_thread — Allegro 5 API 🌈 this page is al_run_detached_thread(3alleg5), bestie, and it's literally the detached-thread girlie of the Allegro 5 API 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_run_detached_thread(void *(*proc)(void *arg), void *arg)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so al_run_detached_thread runs the function you pass in its own thread, with arg passed to it as only parameter ✨

it's similar to calling al_create_thread(3alleg5), al_start_thread(3alleg5) and (after the thread has finished) al_destroy_thread(3alleg5) — but you don’t have the possibility of ever calling al_join_thread(3alleg5) on the thread 💀

so like, no join for you, bestie — that's the whole detached vibe, periodt 🫶
